trucker hats, good call.

the 90's had a lot, I'm trying to think of what I hated in the aughts that isn't already covered.

Shitty pop music taking over every radio station is one for sure.

Gender reveals/Baby announcements

Naming your kids "cute baby names" that will turn into horrible adult names. example: Kaiden, Aiden, Teagan, Braydon, Brileigh, Jaxon, Easton, Tinsley,etc..

Come on dude. Poker was all the rage for about a year and a half. It even had its own channel. fricking everyone started having poker nights constantly and all thought they were pros.


I remember when friendly tournaments turned straight up hostile. God forbid someone win from dumb luck alone rather than whatever phil hellmuth said.

Hopefully this is here to stay. I love that it is common for a lot of series to include a-list actor quality. Kevin Spacey in House of Cards immediately comes to mind.

Yes - and social media talk in general. It takes me at least 2-3 times as long to figure out what someone is saying if they write it in twitter/instagram/whatever talk.

Absolutely. The fricking AIDS campaigns had EVERYONE nervous for about 15 years. When Magic didn't die and people started seeing relatives and friends living quality lives with HIV, the muffins got moist again.

I was a big fan of women wearing low-rise jeans, especially low-rise daisy dukes. I cried when they switched from that to the diaper norts.
